Yes! This story was kind of quick, but I tried to create as many opportunities for unsettling visuals. I'm a big junji ito fan so I was trying to play into some body horror stuff... which is why the dark stuff leans heavily towards what happens to characters' bodies as opposed to their minds. Long story short: I think a lot about externalizing the internal when it comes to horror.
Beautiful! Do you approach a horror differently that when you're writing/illustrating other genres?
